NATO: Who Pays the Bill?

Having broken the lease last month, French
Landlord Charles de Gaulle last week told his NATO tenants precisely
when he expects them to clear off French property. In messages to each
of his 14 NATO "partners," he also pin pointed French
evacuation from NATO's integrated commands. His timetable for all the
au revoirs:

> By July 1 of this year, the 23,000 French troops and two tactical air
squadrons based in West Germany will be withdrawn from joint commands.
Whether they physically remain on German soil will depend, says De Gaulle,
on bilateral arrangements with Bonn.
